Question for the roller rocker boys
Discussion
Ok tried everything to seal my rocker covers against oil leaks, I am using spacers and tried every gasket and goo and yet cannot stop the leaks, so question anyone using yells terra rockers with a spacer ? Or even just a spacer
If so how did you seal yours ? Really at the end of my tether with this issue !,,,

I ordered taller rocker covers from http://jrcast.com/ with TVR logos on them. Used the rubber gaskets, works nice!
From memory I believe are used Hylamer on the steel spacers to the alley heads and then used the standard rubber gaskets on top of the spacers with the standard rocket boxes, no leaks.
Since then I ordered a pair of the taller ones from the guy in Ireland. The downside Of these boxes is that it does not have the lip to sit inside the rubber gaskets.

I have both sides connected to a catch tank, this in turn is piped to the Infeed side of the charger to get some suck
I managed to get a pair of the cast taller TVR rocker covers , is the rubber gasket the best one to use , at least this now elininates the spacers.
So some more questions
How do you restrict the flow to the rockers
Anyone know what the oil filler cap thread size ??

Nigel, the rubber gaskets will work as is (just don't locate as nicely) but I know others using these covers have milled or ground the excess off the lip to make a better fit - I have not done the restrictor mod but believe it essentially involves the oilway through the pedestal having a drilled plug pressed or screwed into it - I imagine Rob or JE would be able to comment on the pros/cons
